Damaris Lewis breaks her silence following her controversial comments at AEW Revolution.
Queen of the Ring star Damaris Lewis was ringside at AEW Revolution on Sunday evening to promote the movie that features wrestling talents such as Toni Storm, Kamille, and Naomi.
When given the opportunity to speak to the crowd about what she learned while filming the movie, Lewis said the following statement:
“One thing I’ve learned about pro wrestlers—you know you’re going to win before anyone else does,” Damaris Lewis said.
While promoting the movie earlier today on Busted Open Radio, Lewis apologized for these comments and tried to explain what she meant to say.
“First and foremost, I completely take accountability for how it came out,” Damaris Lewis said. “That was not how it was intended. I’m sorry if it came out way wrong. During the course of our press tour, I reiterated the statement that you guys carry something in you that says all the time ‘I’m gonna win, I’m gonna win, I’m gonna win,’ and it’s been incredibly inspiring to me.
“Having a very short time period to think about an answer in the arena, that’s what came out of my mouth. When I heard it back, I too was like, ‘Eghh, that’s not what I meant’. I’ve been saying, because it’s true, because I am incredibly inspired by this sport. You know you’re going to win before you step in the ring, no matter what.
“It is a sport. It is real. People are in there, in that ring, doing what they gotta do. It’s tough. It’s dangerous at times. I respect it fully, with my whole heart. I will say it again, I’m so sorry if it came off that way, I know these fans love their sport and were defending their sport; I can’t be mad.” [H/T: Fightful]
